CASE STUDIES

Challenge: Enterprise's new office building in Weldon Springs MO was in need of flexible space that could be divided quickly yet have the best sound control available for meetings, conferences, and in house training.

Solution: Ravensberg installed Skyfold® vertical lift operable partitions that were electrically driven and self-sealing, yet offered more of a "permanent" look. The partitions also featured great sound isolation qualities (best on the movable wall market). When not in use, the Skyfold partition stores above in a custom designed plenum hideaway, which creates the maximum floor space usage and an architecturally aesthetic feel with a flip of a switch. Ravensberg Inc. successfully transformed the Enterprise Rent-a-Car large meeting area into six individual, configurable rooms with incredible sound control. 

Challenge: Saint Louis University's latest and largest research project to date needed an open area lab space on multiple floors that would encourage interaction of scientists, be a recruiting tool to attract necessary researchers, allow growth with flexibility, and enhance the theme of a “green" building.

Solution: Ravensberg, Inc. carefully coordinated with SLU’s contractor, designers, and architects throughout the planning and design process.  Immediate and constant feedback was given on design questions and budget updates.  To create space flexibility, open interaction between scientists, and to help achieve its goal of an extremely environmentally-friendly building, Ravensberg Inc. installed “Maximizer” counter mounted shelving systems, giving researchers flexibility to delete, add, or change shelving/storage needs quickly and promote interaction with its open views.  Vertical service pedestals located between uprights opened up the counter space for equipment and procedures. The cabinets chosen were made of LEED certified Maple wood, which helped the building achieve its goal of an extremely environmentally-friendly building. All installed interior laboratory products were Hamilton Laboratory Furniture and Fume Hoods, a division of Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Challenge: This small research company located in St. Louis Missouri needed their lab facility upgraded and renovated, and wanted to add a fume hood.  IQ Synthesis’ tight client schedule didn't allow for a lot of internal time dedicated to scheduling this renovation project, yet it still needed to be done.

Solution: The turnkey solutions offered by Ravensberg, Inc. matched IQ Synthesis' needs perfectly. With minimal intrusion into IQ’s client schedule and company time, Ravesnberg Inc. created AUTO CADD floor plan layouts and elevation drawings designs, ordered materials, expedited the project, and installed and coordinated all equipment. Ravensberg Inc. also provided a complete installation, including electrical and mechanical connections, to give the owner a beautiful, functional and affordable project with minimal disruption to the IQ Synthesis' workflow.
